First Tee – Atlantic

Without caring mentors, positive youth development just doesn’t happen. At First Tee — Atlantic, we take coaching seriously. We believe that a meaningful, quality relationship between coach and participant is vital to our program.

 

First Tee Coach Education is delivered to aspiring Coaches in Canada jointly by First Tee and PGA of Canada. This collaborative partnership enables Coaches working through First Tee Coach Education Pathway to choose their own level of involvement.

Responsible Coaching Movement

The Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM) is a call to action for sport organizations, parents, and coaches to enact responsible coaching across Canada – on and off the field.

The RCM is a multi-phase movement that affects all sport organizations and coaches across Canada. It stems from extensive and ongoing consultation with the sport community in Canada that showed us some of the systemic issues in sport, the role various parties play, and strategies for addressing these issues.

The Coaching Association of Canada and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport support the Canadian sporting community in improving practices that ensure the health, safety and well-being of all participants.

    Rule of Two

    A safe sport environment ensures all coaches, staff, and administrators apply the Rule of Two. When following the Rule of Two, all interactions and communications with participants are in open, observable, and justifiable settings, and two responsible adults — whether a coach, parent, staff or screened volunteer — are present. There may be exceptions in emergency situations. Check with your sport organization as to how the Rule of Two is enforced.
